Crafting Forever - Stamp Review Crew

Happy Labor Day to all the folks in the USA! You've gotta love a three day weekend. Long weekends sure do allow for lots of crafting. The sentiment on this card is perfect for me. Crafting forever, housework whenever. LOL. I did not spend my weekend cleaning, that is for certain.  I did do a little crafting and some home improvement. I painted my front door yellow and I LOVE it!. Anyway ...

Crafting Forever is the stamp set the Stamp Review Crew is featuring on this edition of the blog hop.  It's a super fun set for the crafter in everyone. This is the first time I've had an opportunity to play with this gem. It's a set not to be missed. Check out these great images; artistic pens, thread, stamps, scissors and a pot fun of paint brushes! I choose to feature the pot full of brushes on both of the cards I created. It was a fun image to color.

I can't wait to hop along with you and see what the crew has made this round. Are you ready? Next up is Bronwyn.Happy Stamping!

Window Shopping - Stamp Review Crew

Window Shopping THANKS card. Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

It's Stamp Review time! This edition we are reviewing the stamp set Window Shopping.  I struggled at first to come up with a project and then the flood gates opened. Does that ever happen to you? I just sat a stared at the stamp set, and stared, walked away and then came back and stamped something else. LOL. Anyway, projects came together somehow.

The Stamp Review Crew is a group of International Stampin' Up! demonstrators who want to show you how much you can do with one stamp set. Fun idea, heh? Each unique blog hop will feature one stamp set. Each stop along the hop will show you a different idea, or ideas using that set! If you are hopping in order just came from Dawn Kidd. Next up on the Window Shopping. stamp review is Ann Schach, thanks for stopping by!

Oh, So Succulent - Stamp Review Crew

Hello and welcome to the Stamp Review Crew Oh, So Succulent edition blog hop.  If you are traveling in order you've just arrived from Betty Traciak and will move onto Kelly Kent after this.  There are so many talented stampers in this hop, inspiration abound!

At first I struggled coming up with a card using this set. Stampers block I guess. To push through I stamped multiples of all of the succulents, colored them, and then die cut them out. I had a pretty large handful of paper succulents that I could play with and arrange.

I created a flower box on this first card using a small portion of the Hardwood background stamp.  I added a couple of screw embellishments from the Urban Underground to finish it off. 

Having these succulent pieces at the ready made it easier for me to create. It was like a little flower shop appeared in my craft room. If you like to arrange flowers this set is seriously for you.

Mother's Day Card using Oh, So Succulent stamp set and framelits from the Stampin' Up! 2017 Occasions mini catalog - Charlet Mallett

This next Mother's Day card uses the basket from the basket builder framelits to create the container for the succulents. The paper doily was stained with Blushing Bride ink by pressing the doily directly into the ink pad and then letting dry.  To soften the Mint Macaroon card stock I layered a small piece of Sending Love glassine sheet on top.

Rose Wonder - Stamp Review Crew

Welcome back! Today the Stamp Review Crew is stamping with Rose Wonder. This is a large stamp set with many different occasion verses included in the set. The set has coordinating thinlets. Both are available in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  I chose to create a wedding card and used the Wedding Wishes phrase. The lace border image along the bottom comes from the Delicate Details stamp set, which is part of Sale-a-bration and can be earned for free with any 50$ USD purchase.

A note about this card ... I likely won't be recreating anytime soon. I had this great idea to use the negative spaces from the large rose thinlet as the primary image for my card. I really love the look of this but, boy, it was a time suck. It also uses a fair amount of foam adhesive or Stampin' dimensionals. 

To create the flower I die cut the large rose and left all of the pieces carefully in place in the die. Next, from the back side of the rose I added foam adhesive to all of the negative pieces. Some of those negative pieces are super tiny so I needed to cut down the dimensionals a bit. Then I adhered the rose to the card front and carefully pulled the positive rose image away from the negative rose image. Viola! Looks so simple but it really took forever.

Are you ready to be really inspired? Hop along to the talented Rochelle to see her lovely project. If you are traveling backwards visit Charlene, another amazing stamper! You can always start form the beginning at the Stamp Review Crew blog.
